And you thought YOUR cards were bad! Hah!
Look at Other Batters' Cards
When you're on the Kardball offense (and might I say: who isn't on the Kardball offense? Am I right?) ...
When you're on the Kardball offense, you don't get to see many cards. Nine at once, at the most. What can you do with this information?
Detect Weaknesses
If your batters are long on anything, bat the complement. For example, if you see three fours in batters' hands, swing a two at an eight (or a three at a Queen) if you get the chance.
Slugging for home runs is always a good idea, and seeing any Aces at all in your batters' hands makes it an imperative.
Multiple Twos or Threes in the lineup tells you to try one of them against a Four or Nine, since you have one of the remaining three square factors already off the table. Capiche?
Predict and Plan
What, not a lot of prime numbers on your side? You can bet they'll be coming at you. Hold back a King or Jack instead of dumping it in the usual "strike high" fashion. It might come in handy if the pitcher gets distracted by that Carl's Jr. ad that just aired on your NASCAR channel.
Sitting on mostly Tens and over means your small ball won't work this time out. Try holding your high evens, since the pitcher might lob a couple of these with the idea of fielding off the combination ... but surprise! You'll come back with a match that might leave him wanting an Ace! Oh yes you did!
